I've already said part of Freud's theory was obsolete or was "rearranged", but fixation son/mother is still teached as valid, since until now there is no theory that explains better this neurosis.

I'm not the first nor the least to present this relationship of having incestuous undertones.

That is what defines Dante  in the TV tropes:

This is even lampshaded by Trish in one of her final quotes about how weird it is her being similar to his mom, in Umvsc3.

This defines Dante character in old DMC. He is remember by the people for his strange romantic taste, not by being a silver haired devil hunter, since there are other characters similar to him, in a way or another. A great number of DmC reviews praise the fact his love interest no more looks like his mother.

This review is kinda comical, but valid anyway: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/6765-DMC-Devil-May-Cry

And again, as controversial as it seems, this is still my opinion. ( and I know I'll get "flamed "because it anyway.)
